Hi,
Can someone pls help me on this. I know you guys can configure the BIOS setting by pressing F2 right and then configure the BIOS.
Does anyone have a tool which can set the BIOS settings in DOS mode?
For example, enable USB emulation to "on" in DOS prompt:-
c:\>bios.exe 009B 1
bios.exe will be the dos program
009B will be the example address for the USB
1 is on, while 0 is off.
Is there such a program or can someone pls tell me how can I write my own?
Thanks a lot!

Not personally, but you could take a look at:

Hi Nick,
Thanks for the reply.
I went to the link that you've showed me but it didn't describe on how to change the BIOS setting. For instance, if I were to change the setting in BIOS for the On-Board Sound from Disable to Enable in MS-DOS mode,
is that possible?
Any possible way I can access the BIOS ROM content using C or DOS batch command?
thanks and regards,

Ah, I thought you wanted to program the USB.
The layout of CMOS depends on the BIOS maker.

You can write a Basic or assembler program to read and write the CMOS (I did once a long time ago - I don't know where it is now). Or you could try a Google search for "CMOS utility" and see what you can find.
